@Both: Like I said, I still need to do more studying on this subject and I'll respond when I've done it. Apparently the idea of limbo isn't even an official Catholic doctrine, but it is a common belief amongst many. Yeah, Abraham's bosom.

@VF: But we are both physical and spiritual beings. We are often required then to perform both spiritual and physical acts. You can be saved by an act of faith [want of baptism], provided you have the intent of being baptized physically, but God wants us to show just how much faith we have in Him. If He truly does mean anything to us at all we should be willing to do anything under the dictates of sanity* to show that physically as well - it's in our very nature.


 * Under the dictates of sanity - Meaning, we shouldn't feel obligated to go through some torture chamber [hypothetically speaking] if it's the only way to reach someone who could baptize you. Again, circumstance is the big thing.

@Gandr: Catholics go by tradition and the Bible. Everything that we believe in is not from the Bible, for the Bible itself says [again] to follow tradition and scripture hand in hand.
